- 02 - board up the house
Take me away from the ocean, I’ve already gone away
I’m already gone
Take me up north to the blue grass, horse-meat and pharmacies
I’m already gone
Board up the house!
Hide your boys and girls!
- A Horse Called Golgotha
Call the boy
He's down the hallow
Cull the tide
Distill the rye
Now it's time for medication
Stallions on the eiderdown
- Back Where I Belong
Tell me now. . .
Who’s in charge here?
I thought help was on the way
It took so many years to get out of here
Now I’m back where I belong
Now I’m back where I belong
Next to you
Stuck to you
- Board Up the House
Take me away from the ocean, I’ve already gone away
I’m already gone
Take me up north to the blue grass, horse-meat and pharmacies
I’m already gone
Board up the house!
Hide your boys and girls!
- Borderlines
Fallen like a hammer on a solitary ark
It struck a nail and now we'll never be apart
Just a shadow on the wall
And I curse the ground beneath my feet
Curse the boiling sea
Curse the stars above my head
Staring back at me
Damn the windy Kraken split
- Broken Halo
She is the deepest ocean
That I could hope to drown in
If my iron wings should break again
I hope I'd fly into your eyes
Gold and grey
Your eyes were gold and grey
And I would do anything
- Cocainium
Seven branches on my window
Waiting for the sun to come around
Take this on an empty stomach
Waiting for the spring to come around
Save yourself
By the way
Never ride alone
- Cold-Blooded Angels
Cold-blooded angels in blankets of ash
Alone in the southern pines
There's a place in the garden
Where nothing will grow
But I could stay forever
Where I lay every night on the forest's floor
Asleep with both eyes open
'Cause I need that bitter hand
- Collapse
We are all soured milk
When we look in the mirror, we collapse
When our time has come
When our finger’s on the trigger, we collapse
Arms are flailing
Swirling like the poison in the sink
- Desperation Burns
Hate to say, but we've looked on better days
It took me by surprise
We left our quiet home behind
The castaways drag the lake
The desperation burns
Raise the alarm
Un-close your eyes
- Eula
Settle down
This won’t last long
I’ve been out
And I want back in
So why not completely fade away
When my bones begin to break
And my head begins to shake
- Foolsong
That fool who digs his own grave
“I’m still trying to find my way out!
But if it’s the long way
I’ll sleep in this bed I’ve made.”
The kids have fallen on blades
It’s too late to figure out
It’s too late for babies to beg for their beds
- Front Toward Enemy
So, I lied
It was a cold summer
By fall, true winter flows like a virgin spring
We're headed for disaster
But I won't close my eyes until it's over
So carry on
Some wars I gladly died in
- I'd Do Anything
If you pulled gently I'd fall right back into line again
You help me check myself and all that I surround
It was moments ago
I knew exactly what to say
Spilling on the ground
The words forever gold and grey
When I make my escape
- Jake Leg
jake leg!
steal this wine away
flay me
underneath the brine
running away
through the sick and the pure
"mind your feet!" lest the firmament tread
- Kerosene
Climbing up the walls again
A constant spinning wheel
Though I made the same mistake
My love is never enough
Spider-webs radiate
Pale electric blue
And I can feel the morning light
- little things
Cry your eyes out
A lesson left unlearned
I wish I was airborne
Then I could watch it turn
They've taken everything
Hung us out to dry
They've taken every thing
- March to the Sea
There was an anchor
There was a silver-sweet refrain
You tucked your fingers in between my troubled bones
And what you did next was second-to-none
You really let us down
You tied yourself up
And jumped in the sea
Never to come home
- Pale Sun
Knives fall
Pale sun
Night's fall
Pale sun sinking
Knives fall
Pale sun
Night's fall
Pale sun sinking
- Psalms Alive
I am the nail that you can’t strike
I am the spear that will run you through
And when the shots were falling we were sound asleep
And you filled your palms with dirty bombs
Instead of hand-grenades
I am teeth which cannot bite
- Rise
Rise
Circle
Greet the Sun
Serpent coils unwind
Pressure blood from stone
Now do valleys open wide
Now like rust do we reach out
Now do clouds burst forth under weight
- Sea Lungs
I can’t breathe
Nor can I see the sun
It’s so cold in here
Where did I go so wrong?
All these days
I’ve sail’d cross these wicked seas
And I have petitioned the deep
- Shock Me
In a battle
You only brought your shield
I picked the nearest blade I found
To meet you in the field.
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies
If not I bend the truth.
But good fortune never was shinning on me
The way it shone on you.
- Steel That Sleeps the Eye
Steel that sleeps with the morningstar
Would that I could sin once more
Blades will sing over stone and field
That their song might grace our fall
Pallid limbs in the raven's thrall
Fracture sulphur honey skin
- Swollen and Halo
the steel that sleeps the eye
needs no tax nor toll
that kings with men might lie
swollen and halo'd
her sweetest skin burns
now i've buried all the gold beneath my hide
now i'll swallow breath with blood
of pole and anchor
- Take My Bones Away
You lead the way, I'll follow
You lead the way, I'll follow
..I can't seem to stop
They say it's.. from bottom to top..
Did you feel another way
Or did my ...
Did you feel another way?
- The Gnashing
All of your fears are well founded and true
All my hands are callous and cruel
All of my arrows that riddle you through
Are bullets that fire me back into you
All of the rivers are boiling with thirst
All my hands are covered with earth
All of my children that gnash with their teeth
Are paperback novels and dogs scratching fleas
- The Sweetest Curse
Curse with me
Profane and discreet
Make her move
Cross veins and chamomile
Soft and sweet
Seasalt silver-meat
Buried deep
- Throw Me an Anchor
The stars have shone between us
Were bluish-green and golden-like
Beware the hand that feeds us
When the birds of prey
Hold onto the stolen light
Throw me an anchor
I hope you learned
- Tourniquet
Bought an artificial heart and it's broken
It never started
Please operator, take it out of here
Don't let it be the death of me
Filled my bloodstream up with poison and ashes
Now I'm starving
Don't ever let me go, my sweet amphetamine
Holding on, all alone
- Tower Falls
Burn
Lest ye be bold
Until the quickening
Unlearned and sill untold
Praise not this dawn
(That will become tomorrow today)
The soil pressed into dust by the heel
Below nothing can ever return
- Try to Disappear
I will bury your bones inside my garden
Underneath your eyes can't burn through me anymore
I will throw a golden anchor in the harbor
Tie you by your chain to the ghost on the ocean floor
Asthma lungs deflate
You help me suffocate
- Wanderlust
Perambulation
Wading
Milk the keel through tidal slough at dawn
On and on
Grating and lapping at the swollen stinking skin
Imitation
Mating muscles cut through cord
Through mountain's own
